Arrests, man hospitalised after influencer boxing event

Two individuals were arrested and a man was hospitalized following a chaotic boxing event involving influencers in Co Kilkenny. The event, organized by Unhinged Promotions and hosted by social media personality HSTikkyTokky, ended abruptly with a brawl at the venue. One man in his 30s was assaulted and taken to St. Luke's Hospital, while another man in his 20s was arrested and detained at a Garda station.

A teenager was also arrested for violent disorder and charged. The event, which was supposed to feature a clash between rappers Russ Millions and Kirky, saw violence escalating quickly, with reports of chairs and glass being thrown. Influencer Mo Deen, who had appeared on the undercard, and anti-immigration activist Tommy Robinson were involved in an altercation that quickly turned violent.

Videos show security personnel intervening in the melee, and it's believed violence escalated rapidly. Both Deen and Robinson are currently the subjects of controversy, with Deen claiming his actions were scripted and Robinson on bail awaiting sentencing for harassment causing fear of violence. The organizer, HSTikkyTokky, has faced backlash after the event, with local Independent Councillor Eugene McGuinness expressing disbelief at the chaotic scenes.
